SD 2335 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act closing a loophole in lobbying law

This bill closes a loophole in lobbying regulations by automatically disqualifying individuals convicted of certain political corruption felonies from lobbying for 10 years. It directly affects people convicted under state laws (chapters 3, 55, or 268A) or federal laws (like U.S. Code sections 1341, 1343, 1346, or 1951) related to political corruption. The key provision requires the state secretary to automatically bar such individuals from acting as or registering as a lobbying agent. This change removes discretion for officials and ensures immediate disqualification following a felony conviction.
